Benihana is amazing! I received my birthday certificate for the first time this year…but just a word of warning, you will need to provide your accurate birthdate (month, date, year) as they take your driver's license and review everything for accuracy. And, we still spent $50 for the two of us. It's not a cheap place, but the food is high-quality and you'll enjoy it.

It's only a special treat place for us, but a family favorite. It's worthwhile to check their website for special deals. When we went for our daughter's graduation dinner last year, there was a deal that we just had to mention, and it saved us a lot of $$. Great food and great entertainment that the kids (and adults) love!

Hmmm….. just got mine in my e-mail since my bday is this month. It says Free Meal- up to $30 value. Maybe they changed the way they word it so that you can't use the $30 toward someone else's meal as well?

I see on the Benihana website that their special for the entire month of July (at the Mpls Location near us) is "Hibachi Shrimp and Chicken for Two" for $35. This includes soup, salad, appetizer and dessert. With a $30 giftcard you could sure get close to covering the meal – maybe just the extra $5 and tip would be out of pocket. They don't make their specials really easy to find. You have to click on a specific location to find them. Thanks so much for telling us about the $30 birthday giftcard!
